Pepper Hamilton is sponsoring iGlobal Forum's 4th Global Distressed Debt Investing Summit being held on February 20, 2013 in New York City. Distressed debt investors are facing vast uncertainty, a protracted recovery from the global downturn, expectations of a double-dip recession and low default rates. The managers who do not want to compromise their investment strategies are having to dig deep to find opportunities, and the supply/demand imbalance is pushing up value expectations.

This one-day meeting will synthesize the most pertinent themes in the field of distressed debt investing. Attendees will take part in the hottest debates, listen to the best projections for 2013, and meet the industry's leading participants.

Pepper partner William R. Wagner will participate on the panel, “Examine the Drivers of Change Across the Distressed Industry.” Discussion will include:
